What is cool?
 

The word "cool" or swoll for some people is a term thrown around at everything whether it be personal, or general. It's thrown around so much that like many other terms like love, hate, evil, ***, and rock n' roll that it has lost it's meaning.

So the point of this thread is, how do you define "cool."

To me, cool is Miles Davis, cool is leather jackets and converse sneakers, cool is music that jams and pulls the listener in, cool in the outlaw who couldn't give a **** for the flow of the river or the dumbass salmon blindly swimming upstream.

But that's to name a few. What about you guys? :cool:

The OP.

Obviously.

Cool is the climate of Fall in Canada (see: Freezing Winter).

Anything wearing sunglasses, apparently.

Did you ever see the interview with that guy where they showed what his apartment looked like? It's a riot. I've never seen such an anal retentive looking home in my life.

I think you mean 'deck', the hipsters won't know what you are talking about

I didn't know Vanilla Ice had a brother. :yikes:

The capitalized "L" in "cool" only makes him cooler.

That's so schwam.

I use cool now as "ok."

Like "Hey can you do this for me?"
I go "yeah, thats cool."


Or "Sorry about your shirt."
I respond "Don't worry about it, it's cool"


For something interesting or appealing I use the word "tight."

Like "Hey, you like this?"
"Hellz yeah, thats tight!"

Let me tell you who IS'NT cool...me. I own a Simply Red album.

fucking right

It would be me if I could grow a soul patch.

It's Ewan McGregor, he was Obi-Wan Kenobi in the new Star Wars movies.

Dude cmon he was in plenty of other great movies

He does'nt smoke or drink anymore though apparently.

Yep, my cool icon is an alcoholic cartoon cat.

I knew you'd call me out on it... I don't watch a lot of movies though. I know he was in one with Hugh Jackman about sex, Big Fish, and Moulin Rouge, but Star Wars is more famous than those :\

He's great in Trainspotting, and i also quite like Rogue Trader as well though i'm not sure why :s

He's a cat? I never got that.

I dunno, not sure if I can just generalise something as specific as the word "cool" and its overrated meaning. Maybe someone independent who has found his own way of living life without caring too much about other people's opinion. That'd be someone with a cool personality. Cool looking people? People who are comfortable with their fashion style. I don't have to like someone's clothes to specify him as a "cool looking" person.

You sir are a liar and a charlitan and a LIAR!

It's ok. I own a Toad the Wet Sprocket album.

My friend labeled me "Cool For Life" since I'm shorter than her.

"Cool" is subjective. To me - it's doing what you think is cool, without giving a damn about what everyone else is doing/thinking about you. It could also be argued that "cool" is synonymous with apathy that is almost masked with brilliant, dry humor.

Eg) my grandather is cool.

This is.

working-class urbanites who wear flannel and stocking caps and like to go to house shows and drink beer.

This is cool. I wouldn't think otherwise.

No one can ever be as cool as Lou Reed.

To me, being cool means just not giving a ****.

Holy shit, that was amazing!

Are you an idiot?

Idk why but this made me laugh so hard when I read it. :laughing:


Anyway research shows anyone who has sunglasses or is smoking is cool by default, if theyre doing both then theyre ultra-cool

*Tests theory*
